Day 1 Of Event #72: $1,500 Mixed No-Limit Hold’em/Pot Limit Omaha(8-Handed) Begins At 3 P.M.
In 2019, Jerry Odeen outlasted 1,250 entrants to take down his first bracelet as well as $304,793 in this event. The event played over the course of four days, and the final table contained many well-known pros like Luc Greenwood and bracelet winner Ayaz Mahmood, but it was Odeen who bested Kevin Linton heads up for the gold. Will this final table see the return of any of these players? Will a new player make his name known in this event? How many entrants will this get? Time will answer all of these questions.
Players will buy in to get 25,000 in starting chips and will sit down at tables 8-handed, with the game switching between No-Limit Hold’em and Pot Limit Omaha every eight hands. Blinds will start at 100/100 with levels escalating every 40-minutes today and every 60-minutes on the following days.
Play is scheduled to go over three days, with players today playing 15 levels with 15-minute breaks after every three levels. Late registration is open until level until after the ninth level which will fall around 9:45 P.M. This is a tournament with a single re-entry so players will have the option to rebuy before this time as well.
